Every Other Tuesday-Quick Sketchbook
Tue, Aug 26, 2008
So this one is super easy to whip up! Gather the following items:
1 sheet of colored/patterned cardstock for the outside
5 sheets of cardstock, or more if you use plain printer paper (just remember your stapler will have to go through them!)
coordinating ribbon
Cut the following:
(2) 4″ x 8″ pieces for the outside of the notebook
(10) 3 7/8″ x 7 7/8″ for the inside
Now, just stack everything together and staple on the left-hand side. I then covered the staples with a piece of ribbon.
You can embellish the cover however you want. Try a monogram, embossed stamp, felt stickers, or anything else you’d like.
For mine, I used two strips of 8″ long paper, one is 1″ wide and the patterned paper is 3/4″ wide.
Yep, really easy! Hope you like it!
(Also, I’m just about finished with an awesome autumn themed tutorial. So, dust off your sewing machines and prepare for some cute fall home decor items!)
